Anyone have experience of or still using one of these?

I had one on an Albin Vega (27ft) that three blokes sailed out here from Sweden. They reckoned they only steered the boat for 6-8 hours their whole journey. Sadly I sold it with the boat. It's a great design, only drawback with that model is that the rudder doesn't swing up. Is it yours? Want to sell it? :)

Hi Bushdog,
Yes it's mine, it's going on my ketch very soon. In the process of acquiring this "Windpilot" I have made enquiries into having the rudder blade modified for lifting.
Thanks for your reply.
